    NAME: lf_interop_ping_plotter.py

    PURPOSE: lf_interop_ping_plotter.py will let the user select real devices, virtual devices or both and then allows them to run
    ping plotter test for user given duration and packet interval on the given target IP or domain name and generates realtime ping status and line charts for every device.

    EXAMPLE-1:
    Command Line Interface to run ping plotter test with only virtual clients with eth1 as the default target
    python3 lf_interop_ping_plotter.py --mgr 192.168.200.103 --virtual --num_sta 1 --radio 1.1.wiphy2 --ssid RDT_wpa2 --security wpa2
    --passwd OpenWifi --ping_interval 1 --ping_duration 1m --server_ip 192.168.1.61 --debug

    EXAMPLE-2:
    Command Line Interface to stop cleaning up stations after the test
    python3 lf_interop_ping_plotter.py --mgr 192.168.200.103 --virtual --num_sta 1 --radio 1.1.wiphy2 --ssid RDT_wpa2 --security wpa2
    --passwd OpenWifi --ping_interval 1 --ping_duration 1m --server_ip 192.168.1.61 --debug --no_cleanup

    EXAMPLE-3:
    Command Line Interface to run ping plotter test with only real clients

    SCRIPT_CLASSIFICATION : Test

    SCRIPT_CATEGORIES: Performance, Functional, Report Generation

    NOTES:
    1.Use './lf_interop_ping.py --help' to see command line usage and options
    2.Use 's','m','h' as suffixes for ping_duration in seconds, minutes and hours respectively
    3.After passing the cli, if --real flag is selected, then a list of available real devices will be displayed on the terminal
    4.Enter the real device resource numbers seperated by commas (,)
    5.For --target, you can specify it as eth1, IP address or domain name (e.g., google.com)

                self.pingduration * 60.
            coord (tuple, optional): Current robot coordinate (x, y). Used when the

    def perform_robo(self, Devices, config_devices, group_device_map):
        """
        Orchestrates a full robot-assisted ping test across a list of coordinates and angles.

        This method drives the robot through each coordinate in self.coordinate_list,
        optionally rotating to each angle in self.angle_list at every coordinate. At each
        position/angle combination it starts a generic CX, calls monitor() to collect ping
        data for the configured duration, then stops the CX. After all coordinates are
        visited, it generates the final test report.

        For band-steering tests, the flow is different: the robot iterates over its own
        internal coordinate list (from self.robot.get_coordinates_list()), and monitor()
        is called via callback as the robot moves.

        Args:
            Devices (RealDevice): Device manager instance providing live device metadata.
            config_devices (dict): Device configuration data passed through to
                generate_report() when a group_name is set.
            group_device_map (dict): Mapping of group name to devices, also forwarded
                to generate_report() for grouped reporting.

        Returns:
            None. Results are written to the report directory (and optionally copied
            to the home directory if do_webUI is True).

        ping plotter test for user given duration and packet interval on the given target IP or domain name and generates realtime ping status and line charts for every device.

        SCRIPT_CATEGORIES: Performance, Functional, Report Generation

        NOTES:
        1.Use './lf_interop_ping.py --help' to see command line usage and options
        2.Use 's','m','h' as suffixes for ping_duration in seconds, minutes and hours respectively
        3.After passing the cli, if --real flag is selected, then a list of available real devices will be displayed on the terminal
        4.Enter the real device resource numbers seperated by commas (,)
        5.For --target, you can specify it as eth1, IP address or domain name (e.g., google.com)
